PLACEMENT FOR HEADRESTS FOR BARBER CHAIRS Filed July 16. 1928 YE 7571's JM/n/ Emma! William 6' dmmzJc/a & 1 Q5 Patented Dec. 24, 1929 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE J'QHN R. EMMER'I AND XVILLIAII GRIMIx'IICI-I, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNORS TO EMIL J. PAIDAB, 30., OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS PLACEIVIENT FOR HEADR-ESTS FOR BAR-BER CHAIRS Application filed July 16,

This invention relates to a barber chair and concerns itself with a placement for the head rest when not in use.

At the present time, the head rests when removed from the chairs are usually placed on a shelf or the like where the same are apt to come in contact with germs. This is more or less unsanitary and undesirable. Moreover, it frequently happens that l arbers do 1 not have a good sanitary placement for the head rest when the same is not in use and removed from the chair.

This invention is designed to overcome the above noted objections in the provision of a placement in connection with tne chair itself whereby the head rest may be supported when removed from its customary position in a sanitary manner free from contact with other things.

The invention comprises the novel structure and combination of parts hereinafter described and more particularly pointed out and defined in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred form of this invention and in which similar reference numerals refer to similar features in the different views:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a barber chair embodying this invention;

Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken transversely through the seat;

Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary side elevational view of the seat showing the shank of the head rest in elevation;

Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken upon the line IVIV of Figure 8.

In the drawings there is shown a barber chair involving this invention. The reference numeral 1 represents the cushion which rests upon a rim 2 upon the seat rail 8. The rim 2 spaces the cushion from the seat rail. According to this invention, a suitable mortice is provided in the rim 2 and a. suitable sheath l is inserted in the mortice. This sheath is of sufficient size to slidably receive the shank 5 of the head rest 6.

The head rest when in use is usually supo ported upon the back of the chair, with the 1928. Serial No. 293,234.

shank 5 thereof adjustably supported in the slot 7. During certain operations such as cutting hair for example, the head rest is re moved, and usually deposited in some place which may be more or less unsanitary. According to this invention, the head rest when removed from the back of the chair may be supported in the sheath 4-. It is only necessary for the barber to slide the shank into the sheath as shown in the drawings, when the head rest will be supported free from contact and in a sanitary manner.

Vi e are aware that many changes may be made and numerous details of construction may be varied through a wide range without departing from the principles of this invention and we, therefore, do not purpose limiting the patent granted hereon, otherwise than necessitated by the prior art.

\Ve claim as our invention:

In a barber chair embodying a head rest with a shank, a seat rail a cushion, a member between said cushion and seat real, said mem her having a horizontal slot for receiving said shank between the cushion and seat rail for supporting said head rest.

In testimony whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our names at Chicago, Cook County, Illinois.
